Internet Explorer - Reconfigure Proxy settings

[tboss132]

Hi All,
[Not sure exactly where this thread should go but since the solution will be used in programming, I think I should put it here. So here goes...]
Does anyone know where Internet Explorer stores it's proxy settings i.e. on disk or in the registry?
I'm creating a program which can restore Internet Explorer to factory settings and/or automatically reconfigure Internet Explorer to settings I'll specify. I already found out how to configure the favourites, cookies and history but I'm stuck with the proxy connection settings. I don't want to use a GPO because not all the PCs will be on the domain network.

Thanks. All help appreciated.

hmm maybe here
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
in this root folder there are some proxy settings, I did a search with RegSeeker for a proxy I put in and this is where it took me

Yeah, that's what exactly I was looking for. I found the keys at
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ProxyServer
and
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ProxyOverride
Thanks a lot.

yw, at first this was the place i thought they would be but I was being lazy so i let a program do the searching for me, and being the amateur programmer, i gotta know where things are, i've messed with the registry often, fixing peeps computers and what not. Its surprising how often programs say they uninstall but they leave their registry keys behind often.

Alot of programs leave registry keys in place during uninstallation on purpose. Some shareware programs do it so they can tell that they were installed once before as a way to try and keep you from getting multiple free trial periods of the software. Others do it so that if you decide to reinstall a program, all of your previous settings are still in place and you don't have to reconfigure the software options.
